Measure the area
For a whole room, measure usable floor area and allow for cuts around doors and fixed equipment. For an underlay, measure the complete machine footprint.
Match flooring to its intended use
Foam, rubber and equipment underlays are not interchangeable. Compare the manufacturer instructions with your training and underlying floor. Thickness alone does not establish suitability for dropped weights or structural loads.
Plan fitting and care
Check joining methods, edge pieces, door clearance and cleaning instructions. Confirm whether flooring is sold by tile, pack or roll, and calculate the actual coverage before ordering.
